Columbia, S.C. (AP) - Nobody needs two left feet. That's according to television show host Judge Greg Mathis, who ruled a South Carolina man whose amputated left leg ended up inside a smoker that was then auctioned off should be able to keep his appendage.

"You're not getting that leg. I'm not giving you the man's leg," Mathis told Shannon Whisnant in issuing his decision on an episode of the "Judge Mathis" show that aired Thursday.

The judge did order John Wood, whose left leg was amputated after a plane crash, to reimburse Whisnant $5,000. Whisnant told Mathis he wanted to build a museum and charge people $10 to look at the limb.

Wood, who joked to the judge about losing his leg twice, left his limb in the cooker in a storage shed. When the Greenville man couldn't pay the bill, the items were auctioned.

The guy who's leg it was. He had to pay the woman who bought it second-hand the money she paid for it, but he got it back. rolleyes.gif
